🗓️ What’s going on • Chelsea are away at Bayern Munich in their Champions League opener.  • For Chelsea, this is under new pressures and expectations under Enzo Maresca.  • Bayern are in strong form, having just beaten Hamburg 5-0.  ⸻ 👥 Teams & lineup notes • Chelsea make 4 changes: Cole Palmer, Reece James, Malo Gusto, and Marc Cucurella come in.  • Bayern have not changed from their team that thrashed Hamburg.  • João Pedro is leading the line for Chelsea.  • Nicolas Jackson (currently on loan at Bayern) starts on the bench and is a potential wildcard.  ⸻ ⚔️ Tactical angles • Formation: Both sides lining up in 4-2-3-1.  • For Chelsea, solidity in midfield and creating chances via the flanks seem key (given the personnel: James, Palmer, etc.). • Bayern will likely try to dominate possession and put pressure early — home
